Chapter 723: Chapter 460: Legitimate Acquisition of the Illiser Family’s Inheritance_2
Lis stood atop the high tower in the station, gazing down at the entire station below and the distant situation of Jade City.
At such a time, if one had a cigar, one might feel a different kind of sensation.
Lis shook his head; in his previous life, he had been a heavy smoker, but the advent of gaming pods had made it impossible to smoke while playing games, and over time he had given up smoking.
In Gaia World, cigars did exist, and a strong physique meant that cigars hardly had any negative impact, but Lis had lost interest in them now.
The Elf Station before his eyes was almost something he had gotten for nothing.
If he were to build an Elf Station of the same level from scratch, it would cost at least several hundred thousand Elf Coins, yet now Lis had got it for free.
Despite the station’s comprehensive functionality, particularly the magic tower beneath Lis’s feet, the daily consumption of Magic Power and resources was substantial.
There was still a considerable stock in the station’s warehouse, enough to last for quite some time, but it was, after all, an inexhaustible supply with no source.
However, Lis was not worried about this problem.
The process of obtaining this Elf Station had given Lis a wake-up call.
The Elf Royal Court had been utterly destroyed by Demogorgon, including all the Elves and wealth within the city.
But the wealth of the Elf Royal Court wasn’t entirely contained within the Royal Court itself!
Let’s not speak of the private wealth of other elves; the Illiser Family’s fortune in Jade City comprised not only the Elf Station beneath Lis’s feet.
After all, the Illiser Family was almost equivalent to the Elf Royal Court of Jonor City.
Although Bella and Mil didn’t know much about these aspects, Lis had learned of some shops and warehouses in Jade City belonging to the Illiser Family, used for purchasing and selling Extraordinary Items and other materials.
Apart from that, apart from the one in Jade City, the Illiser Family had another station of the same kind in the Elf Royal Court of Andor City.
These riches might have been trivial for the former Elf Royal Court and the Illiser Family, but for the [Nature’s Wrath], the new power Lis had created, they were like a potent tonic.
Most importantly, Lis saw this venture as highly feasible.
Let’s not mention Lis’s identity as an [Elf Sage] or the organization [Nature’s Wrath] he had founded for the purpose of avenging the Elf Royal Court and the Illiser Family.
The fact that Cecil was the last living descendant of the Illiser bloodline made her fully entitled to inherit the Illiser Family legacy without issue.
But for the time being, Lis had already received Adela’s support and didn’t need Cecil to handle these matters.
It was possible, but not necessary.
Cecil was Lis’s friend, and he did not wish to disturb Cecil, who was immersed in her grief, with such matters.
However, the problem Lis faced was not these matters, but how to communicate them to the upper echelons of the Elf Kingdom.
He couldn’t possibly trouble Elf Great Sage Adela with everything, could he?
Just then, Lis’s gaze shifted to Daphne who had been following behind him all this time.
The Moon Elf girl had been following Lis obediently all day without leaving his side, her eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
Even so, Daphne, unlike before, had not shown any signs of disrupting Lis’s actions.
Even she understood the enormous shock and crisis the destruction of the Elf Royal Court had caused. She could not comprehend many things Lis was doing now, but she still obediently followed him.
Nevertheless, the pure Life and Nature aura that Mil and Bella revealed when they pledged allegiance to Lis and when he granted them the World Tree Mark also stunned Daphne.
Suddenly, Daphne seemed to understand why Sister Adela had wanted her to stay by Lis’s side.
When Lis turned around and saw the expectation and bashfulness in Daphne’s eyes, he immediately realized what Daphne was thinking.
Sitting down next to the sofa and looking at Daphne opposite him, Lis said with a smile,
“What’s the matter, so quiet today?”
“Nothing much, it’s just my first time encountering such matters, and I’m a bit curious.”
Daphne thought for a moment, holding back the urge to ask Lis about the World Tree Mark.
She was young and hadn’t experienced much, but under the guidance of Adela and Sister Cendelle, she knew it was presumptuous to ask Lis for a World Tree Mark.
After all, Mil and Bella received a precious World Tree Mark only because they had sworn their loyalty to Lis.
This type of power mark, which is highly attractive and potent for Elves, surely cannot be granted by Lis without restrictions.
As Daphne had not done anything for Lis and considering her special status, it’s unlikely for her to swear loyalty to Lis.
Therefore, Daphne hesitated, feeling somewhat awkward to ask Lis.
“No problem.”
Lis paused for a moment and then continued,
“I can give you a World Tree Mark right now, in exchange, how about helping me out during this period?”
“After all, ‘Nature’s Wrath’ has just been established, and there’s a lot to be done.”
Upon hearing this, Daphne’s eyes lit up, and she said bashfully,
“If that’s the case, I would like one, hehe…”
Lis nodded with a smile, didn’t say much, and lightly tapped Daphne’s forehead with his right hand.
An emerald World Tree Mark appeared on Daphne’s forehead, adding an extraordinary charm to her flawless complexion.
Watching Daphne with her eyes closed, assimilating the changes brought about by the World Tree Mark, Lis sat back on the sofa, pondering the intentions of the Elf Great Sage Adela.
In fact, most of what Adela had told Lis initially were the wishes of Goddess Fenrir, including bestowing upon Lis the identity of an ‘Elf Sage’ and supporting Lis in establishing a new force to strike at Abyss Demons.
But if it was just that, there was no need for Adela to specifically entrust Daphne to Lis.
Daphne’s identity is very special!
The first time they met, Lis had sensed this.
Especially the tense demeanor of Captain Cendelle when facing Daphne.
It was not merely due to Daphne being a Moon Elf.
Moon Elves hold the same esteemed and talented status in the Elf Kingdom as Day Elves.
Initially, Lis thought it was because of Daphne’s relationship with the Elf Great Sage Adela that Cendelle treated her so specially.
Daphne’s attitude was the same; she indeed treated Adela as if they were real sisters.
However, when in the Elf Holy Hall of the Jade City, Adela suggested that Daphne follow Lis, it was somewhat different.
Normally speaking, if Adela wanted to maintain a connection with Lis, including leading him to the Elf Land later on, there certainly were better ways.
Not to mention, arranging someone else to follow Lis could serve the same purpose.
Why was it specifically Daphne?
Initially, Lis had thought that because of his special status as the World Tree Favored, even without granting a special ability like the World Tree Imprint, having Daphne follow him could still be beneficial.
But just then, Adela suddenly made an ambiguous statement,
“Although Daphne can be a bit mischievous, her Talent is quite remarkable, and she needs experience. Let her help you, Lis.”
Truthfully, even though Daphne was a Moon Elf, perhaps due to her younger age, her strength was only at the early stage of Silver Rank.
What help could she offer Lis?
If it were someone else, Lis might not have paid so much attention.
But these words came from Adela, the sole Elf Great Sage of the Elf Kingdom, a person at the pinnacle of legend.
Lis would not believe that such a person would speak carelessly; all of his strength might be unable to deceive her.
So what Talent does Daphne possess that can offer such help?
Lis’s gaze fell on Daphne, who exuded a strong essence of Nature, and he grew curious.
He’ll find an opportunity to test it later on!
